It is not found in Matthew or Mark. In Luke it occurs eight times, rendered “grace”, “gracious”, “favor”, and “thank”. John uses it four times in 1:14, 16, 17. It occurs sixteen times in Acts, 110 times in Paul’s epistles, sixteen times in those of James, Peter, John, and Jude; and twice in the Revelation, at the beginning and the end of that book of judgment (1:4; 22:21).
